PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD – YEAR C
(Isaiah 50:4-7, Philippians 2:6-11, Luke 22:14-23:56)
_________________________

The Palm Sunday is also called Passion Sunday because the gospel narrative tells the story of his passion. The events of this day are marked by two great procession: One leads Jesus to Jerusalem where the whole city welcomes him with joy, a triumphant entry, while the other leads to Calvary, a painful journey where he is mocked, abandoned and tortured. Today therefore we remember the events which brought about our forgiveness and salvation. He had to endure the passion for us to be saved. In spite of all the pain and torture he went through, he still had compassion on us as he said on the cross: 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!'

Radio Maria, a Catholic community radio , has gone off air after a powerful windstorm wreaked havoc in Bauleni area yesterday 16th December 2024. The station’s transmission was disrupted when one of the masts supporting its antennas collapsed due to the fierce gusts.

The strong winds, which swept through Bauleni in the late afternoon, left a trail of destruction. In addition to toppling the mast, several houses in the area sustained significant damage, with numerous roofs blown off, leaving families vulnerable and in urgent need of assistance.

6th Sunday of EASTER – Yr. B
(Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48, 1 John 4:7-10, John 15:9-17)
_____________

It's so difficult to love others the same way they love us. We often times fall short of giving the same love that we receive from others. Think of the sacrificial love of a mother to a child and how often the parents receive that same kind of love from their children. If reciprocating parental love or love between friends is so difficult, how much more difficult would it be to love as Jesus has loved us? The love of Jesus flows straight from the Father for he says that as the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. He gave it all, as he received it. Greater love indeed has no man than this, that a man lays down his life for his friends. Abiding in God's love begins by keeping God's commandments and keeping his commandments makes us his friends.

We may not all be able to lay down our lives like Jesus did by shedding his blood for us, but we can begin by the daily little sacrifices that make us deny ourselves so that others may gain. It could be in the most simplest of gestures like offering one's seat to someone, giving way for someone to go first or helping an elderly person cross the road. Many of us count the cost: we count the time spent, energy used, discomfort felt, sweat and pain felt. It is for this reason that we decide to give others the very bare minimum. Loving as Jesus loves doesn't count the cost, it counts at how much the other gains and how much joy it brings to their heart. It is not easy, but the Lord still commands us to love one another, just as he has loved us.

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT - YEAR B
(Genesis 9:8-15, 1Peter 3:18-22, Mark 1:12-15)
________________
40 Days in the Wilderness!
After Jesus was led to the wilderness, he remained there for forty days with the wild beasts during which he was tempted. But the angels ministered to him and when he came out his message was: 'Repent and believe in the Gospel.' The Season of Lent is like a time spent in the wildernesses with wild beats all around us and temptations at every corner. We began our journey in the wilderness with Ash Wednesday; it's a journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving; we've made resolutions for our Lenten observances; resolutions we wish to remain faithful to throughout this forty day period. But temptations will not give us peace. We will get tired, we will fall away and even give up before the journey ends. The angels ministered to the Lord in the wilderness, the Lord will not abandon us either.

Lent gives us the opportunity to fix what is broken in us, to practice what has been abandoned by us and to revive what is dull. It is a time to deny ourselves so that others may get, to share with the less privileged and to talk more to God in prayer. It is our time of repentance. Do not get lost in the wilderness, do not be swallowed by the wild beasts, do not be left behind, the wilderness calls us to move together, to be alert and careful of the temptations and the wild beasts and to remain focused and attentive to the voice of the Lord. When you live the Lenten season like you live every other day of your life, then the lenten spirit has not yet caught you. In this season, we do more than ordinary. As we were told when we received ashes, so we are reminded all through the Lenten season: 'Repent and believe in the Gospel.'

Let the ashes received today be a mark that even in our own mortality, in our own brokenness, we have been loved from th...

Let the ashes received today be a mark that even in our own mortality, in our own brokenness, we have been loved from the beginning of time and we will continue to be loved until the end of time because God has sacrificed his all for us. It is our turn now to offer that same kind of sacrificial love to others. Have A Blessed Ash Wednesday.
